XBLA gets Asteroids, Missile Command and Tempest

Trio of retro titles cleared for arrival on the Xbox 360 download service - bring on the particle effects!

Three new retro titles heading to Xbox Live Arcade have emerged this morning thanks to the very useful ESRB website which has cleared them for arrival on Microsoft's box.

Asteroids, Missile Command and Tempest are all listed for the download service, the first being exciting because we can't wait to see what kind of particle effects can be shoe-horned in, the second because we were still hammering it in a San Francisco bar at GDC and the third... well, is Tempest.

Obviously there's no word on pricing or release dates yet, but we'll let you know as soon as we get any concrete details.
